Stay Awake
Ellie Goulding · Other Songs - Ellie Goulding
we got a lot that hasn't near begun
Something is calling us, we're breaking free,
I'm curious, I need to see
Like a flash before our eyes, rolling to the night,
And if it feels like you're dreaming,
Believe it, believe it
Yeah
We'll have to wait 'till the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we'll be this way forever,
I guarantee you now.
Just stay awake, just stay awake,
You can tell us all about it
Just stay awake, just stay awake
Bring me down, side by side,
While our reflections pick up all this collide.
So full of energy, nothing to hide,
No need to sleep, we come alive,
And if we're gonna take this right,
We can go wherever we like
And if it feels like you're dreaming,
Believe it, believe it
We'll have to wait 'till the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we'll be this way forever,
I guarantee you now.
Just stay awake, just stay awake,
You can tell all us about it
Just stay awake, just stay awake
Believe it
Take my faith in your hands,
we have a lot that hasn't near begun
Something is calling us, we're breaking free,
I'm curious, I need to see.
Our dreams, it was lower than this
like a flash before our dream
it was lower than a dream
Like a flash before our eyes, rolling to the night
And if it feels like you're dreaming,
Believe it, believe it
We'll have to wait to the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we'll be this way forever,
I guarantee you
Just stay awake, just stay awake,
You can tell all us about it
Just stay awake, stay awake.
